Principle of operation

WARNING:
ESP does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.

without ESP A
with ESP B

The ESP supports stability when the
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. This is performed by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as needed.

The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends.

Stability control (ESP) warning lamp

The ESP warning lamp will flash when the
system is operating. See Warning
lamps and indicators.

Emergency brake assist

WARNING:
Emergency brake assist does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention.

Emergency brake assist will detect when
you brake heavily by measuring the rate
at which you press the brake pedal. It will
provide maximum braking efficiency as
long as you press the pedal. Emergency
brake assist can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations.
